EDIT: DAMMIT ESPITHEL
Spoiler for Hidden:
No one's done a mass review so far, so I'll take the bait.

Discord: Pretty basic - a combo of Bow and Titan. Seems a little overpowered (2 :gravity for 7dmg with MoGrav) but then again the notorious Vampire Dagger costs 2 :darkness for 6dmg and healing so maybe I don't understand weapons. Honestly though, I think this idea is a little too simple.

Monox D I-Fly: I really, really hate freezing. It's so inconvenient! But that's because I use rush decks.
5 :water for mass congeal seems overpowered, but that's what I said about Discord's and look how that turned out. Switching freeze to congeal with the Mark is a nice and simple idea, I like that.

Clean0nion: This idea revolves around Mindgate decks. It's easy to understand, follows the pillar standard other than cost, and I think it's the only idea here that only looks at the opponent's Mark. Not OP because you'd need to balance Psychic pillars with Aether pillars.

ddevans96: For most people, a cheap dragon at the cost of a non-renewable pillar. Like Nymph's Tears for dragons. Seems a little overcomplicated (why d'ya need more than 5 quanta?) but it could be used in a lot of decks. Mixed feelings on this one, though positive overall.

Opsinis: More quanta at the cost of creatures. I can see AI playing Photon-Photon-Photon-Photon-Upgraded SF-uSF then wondering why they don't have as much quanta as they should. I quite like this idea.

ZephyrPhantom: I hope those aren't serious ideas, because if they are, they win. No question. Those are the best ideas I have ever seen.

dracomageat: Very few people have extra Marks so I feel like this card caters to only the best, leaving everyone else behind. Having said that, the bonuses for extra Marks are very minor. I feel like this card would work better with pillars rather than Marks.

andretimpa: I'm honestly unsure what to think of this one - it's a neat idea, but I can't see it having many applications in decks. I rarely find I have the need to suddenly switch element. I guess it could have its uses in mutation or fate egg or mindgate decks.

Treldon: Feels like two different ideas - not sure how I feel about the element change, even if the quanta used is anything.
Scales punishes players for having more Marks by being less efficient. Balances forces your opponent to switch the equivalent of one pillar for another... the effect is negligible. I think this idea would be better if it were more like "increase MP by 5 if your health is 20 below opponent's".

Spoiler for Who I voted for:
Psychic Pillar (because I'm scummy) and Sacrificial Flame

I wrote this post on a Windows Phone, apologies in advance for lack of readability.

@Onion there's also Sosebows. You can synch your pendulumns to get a large boost of one element in these decks. The same trick can be used to play a card that works best with a surprise effect or that is a bit situational (so worth the deck space but not dedicating a lot to support it quantawise). The problem is that most possibilities are forgotten because the mechanics is not there.
Every time a graboid evolves, an elemental gets his wings.

Why didn't you let the voting timer end before calculating points? :/

I had it require 5 mark quanta so you can't simply play the card with quanta of your choice and only use the mark for a desired dragon (Crimson for sheer damage, Phase for immortality, etc), you generally need to actually be using that mark's element to take full advantage of the effect. I understand it coming across as complicated though, thank you for the feedback :3

Because the timer was only 2 hours early, I told everyone in the chat this would be their last chance to vote, and I didn't know if anyone would be able to actually update it when the timer ended.

Timers are approximate and not precise; The only error I really made was not ending the poll before I did the results, which I apologise for.
